I'm trying to follow the Google Sheets API quickstart here:
https://developers.google.com/sheets/api/reference/rest/v4/spreadsheets.values/batchUpdate
(scroll down to "Examples" then click "GO")
This is how I tried to update a spreadsheet:
package main
// BEFORE RUNNING:
// ---------------
// 1. If not already done, enable the Google Sheets API
// and check the quota for your project at
// https://console.developers.google.com/apis/api/sheets
// 2. Install and update the Go dependencies by running `go get -u` in the
// project directory.
import (
"errors"
"fmt"
"log"
"net/http"
"golang.org/x/net/context"
"google.golang.org/api/sheets/v4"
)
func main() {
ctx := context.Background()
c, err := getClient(ctx)
if err != nil {
log.Fatal(err)
}
sheetsService, err := sheets.New(c)
if err != nil {
log.Fatal(err)
}
// The ID of the spreadsheet to update.
spreadsheetId := "1diQ943LGMDNkbCRGG4VqgKZdzyanCtT--V8o7r6kCR0"
var jsonPayloadVar []string
monthVar := "Apr"
thisCellVar := "A26"
thisLinkVar := "http://test.url"
jsonRackNumberVar := "\"RACKNUM01\""
jsonPayloadVar = append(jsonPayloadVar, fmt.Sprintf("(\"range\": \"%v!%v\", \"values\": [[\"%v,%v)\"]]),", monthVar, thisCellVar, thisLinkVar, jsonRackNumberVar))
rb := &sheets.BatchUpdateValuesRequest{"ValueInputOption": "USER_ENTERED", "data": jsonPayloadVar}
resp, err := sheetsService.Spreadsheets.Values.BatchUpdate(spreadsheetId, rb).Context(ctx).Do()
if err != nil {
log.Fatal(err)
}
fmt.Printf("%#v\n", resp)
}
func getClient(ctx context.Context) (*http.Client, error) {
// https://developers.google.com/sheets/quickstart/go#step_3_set_up_the_sample
//
// Authorize using the following scopes:
// sheets.DriveScope
// sheets.DriveFileScope
sheets.SpreadsheetsScope
return nil, errors.New("not implemented")
}
Output:
hello.go:43: invalid field name "ValueInputOption" in struct initializer
hello.go:43: invalid field name "data" in struct initializer
hello.go:58: sheets.SpreadsheetsScope evaluated but not used
There are 2 things that aren't working:
Can anyone provide a working example that does a BatchUpdate?
References: This article shows how to do an update that is not a BatchUpdate: Golang google sheets API V4 - Write/Update example?
Google's API reference - see the ValueInputOption section starting at line 1437: https://github.com/google/google-api-go-client/blob/master/sheets/v4/sheets-gen.go
This article shows how to do a BatchUpdate in Java: Write data to Google Sheet using Google Sheet API V4 - Java Sample Code
How about the following sample script? This is a simple sample script for updating sheet on Spreadsheet. So if you want to do various update, please modify it. The detail of parameters for spreadsheets.values.batchUpdate is here.
At first, in ordet to use the link in your question, please use Go Quickstart. In my sample script, the script was made using the Quickstart.
The flow to use this sample script is as follows.
client_secret.json
to the same directory with my sample script.Go to the following link in your browser then type the authorization code:
is shown on your terminal, please copy the URL and paste to your browser. And then, please authorize and get code.Done.
is displayed, it means that the update of spreadsheet is done.For Spreadsheets.Values.BatchUpdate
, BatchUpdateValuesRequest
is required as one of parameters. In this case, the range, values and so on that you want to update are included in BatchUpdateValuesRequest
. The detail information of this BatchUpdateValuesRequest
can be seen at godoc. When it sees BatchUpdateValuesRequest
, Data []*ValueRange
can be seen. Here, please be carefull that Data
is []*ValueRange
. Also ValueRange
can be seen at godoc. You can see MajorDimension
, Range
and Values
in ValueRange
.
When above infomation is reflected to the script, the script can be modified as follows.
